I'm trying to create a projector to project an image over a bunch of cubes. I searched for it and found a thread on here but for some reason I cant get even get the project file that aoktar attached to work, its just a light no image projected.
Apparently all you do is load an image into a material and add it to a light and it will project but when I do this nothing projects its just a normal light.

Here is the thread, viewtopic.php?f=30&t=42275&start=0

Am I missing something here? I have Octane 3 but I don't know what I'm doing wrong. Thanks in advance.

Thank you, I also figured out last night if you load a image in Distribution as a image texture it will project.
